Mazda’s CX-5 has been one of the best handling crossovers, one of the most dynamic crossovers, one of the best values, and one of the best looking crossovers for some time. But, one thing it hasn’t been is terribly swift. That’s all changing with the addition of Mazda’s new 2.5L turbocharged engine under the hood. Borrowed from the larger CX-9, the 250 horsepower engine makes the CX-5 one of the most powerful compact CUVs in America.
